David - USER ? hmm - sounds like a 'dialog trapping routine' is needed, but still should parse for the 'drop tablename go ' sequencing . what was the point again ??? hmmmm I've got a backend database - I've got a front end client program - I'm NOT using the internet to connect one with the other - and I'm a slinging SPT back . where was that malacious stuff again ?
I wonder if one stuck to the odbc pile from MDAC 2.5/6/7 to hit a sql back end - if there would be NO issues what so ever ?? ahhhhhhhhh... if security packs are applied on the workstation this behavior occurs ... hmmmmm this suggests it doesn't matter what the 'version' of mdac is .
Alan - what db are u using again ?? straight VFP ? no back end ??? hmmmm curiouser and curiouser, said Alice ... -- William Sanders / Electronic Filing Group Remove the DOT BOB to reply via email.
